Now it's really been a long time.
Hi All!
It's been so long! I can't believe it. I'm getting ready for London/Paris now. I leave in a week and I can't wait to go. Work has been work. I've gotten so many more responsibilities than when I first started. Currently, I'm the lead for a project at work in the efforts to go "green". It's a lot of work but the long hours are killer. Plus, lately, I've been training people so when I go to London, I'll be all covered. I've been kinda worried about work though because i'm a contractor, thus my end date is ending in July but I probably won't get extended due to budgetary reasons.
But enough about that. What else is on my mind...
I've been reading a book called "Waiter Rant". It's awesome. I think everyone should read this book. It's basically a book on a guy ranting about being a waiter. His toils, his turmoils. Then at the end, it tells you how to be a good customer. It's witty, fun, and informative. I know he came out with another book, just recently. His life journey is all over the place. First he was in seminary school, then corporate america, then psych institute, then a waiter. Could he be more diverse? Okay, just read it. Enough endorsing his product...
My family and I got a dog in January. He's an English bulldog and his name is Bentley. He's pretty awesome though I can't really say I would get a dog for myself in the future. It's easier now because a lot of us take care of him but if I'm on my own, totally, then I would have to say no. It's just too much work for me. But don't get me wrong, he's great. I'll try to upload a picture if I can figure it out.
Have you ever noticed that when you're driving down the freeway or wherever for that matter, and someone cuts you off to the point where you have to break. So then you honk....and they flip YOU off??? What's up with that? It's like dude, you are the one who cut me off, almost hitting me and you're mad that I honked you? I really do not get that phenomenon. I mean, I guess no one really likes to be honked at, but if you did something intentional such as cut me off, then you should be expecting that.
I just job hunting has really been on my mind lately...but that's always there so no biggie I guess.
I still listen to Arashi A LOT. "To be free" is my new favorite single. I love it. Dear snow comes close though. The music video for to be free is so animated, it's kind weird. Although Arashi is getting older, I still like them....
I started watching Nino's new drama as well. I'm only into episode 1 and he seems hella whiny but hopefully that changes because it's just waaaay too much.
I also am ALMOST finished with Cinderella's Sister. I think it's good but I'm just so busy that I can't even watch it every night like I would want to.
You ever notice that when you're applying to a job, it says experience required....? It's like how can you get that experience when no one is allowing you to gain it?
How can people get mad when they don't follow the instructions? I really don't get that....That can bitch and moan to me, but if the instructions are right there and you didn't follow them, then aren't you the dumbass now. I think it's because people always want someone to blame.
I think lately, I've been feeling a little lonely in terms of relationships just because I see two of my best friends in great relationships...ones where you are friends as well as partners. ones where both sides are equal. I want that... But seriously, I think I just focus on a job first just so I can support this other person in the long run....yadada?
I don't understand how people can be so cruel and evil in this world. For those of you in the Bay Area, I know that you've heard about the San Bruno Gas Explosion. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_San_Bruno_pipeline_explosion There's a link if you've never heard of it. But I've read on the news that some people are trying to say their house was burned down just to get the free gift cards etc that the victims receive. It's totally appalling. Let the affected be alone. don't try to rob everyone for your own personal gain. That's just something that's wrong. ethically, morally, etcetc
I went to this Halloween party @ Westin this year. I was insane. The people from True Blood were there though I didn't get to see them because the night ended early due to a certain friend. But that's okay, i still had a blast. I was dressed up as Joker and my other friend as Harley Quinn. I didn't even know who Harley Quinn was until then...ha ha.
I find it very sad when I look on facebook and see people I know in high school only talk to people from high school. I think, was that their golden years? I don't see any activity from friends from college or even now....I really don't get it.
You know what blows my mind? When I was in high school, I only hung out with certain people and just those people. Like I would hang out with my elementary school friends. Then with my high school friends. But they never mixed. Ever. But now, it doesn't even matter. All of us hang out like it's no big deal. What stopped us before that we all didn't hang out.
After I moved back home, I realized how much I missed living on my own. I love my fambam but doing stuff your own way or on your own time is great. Living with friends: even better. But it is nice that we can have dinner every night to chat and what not. But does it seem like I'm going backwards to you? Does it seem like I should be living on my own and covering ALL of my expenses since I have a college degree and a job? I guess it's not the Asian way to do things. Especially because work is an 'okay' commute from my house. But seriously though, I've seen the stats and in this economy, I really shouldn't be picky because so many people move back home after college. I should just realize how lucky I am to have that opportunity. Some people don't have that....
Do you ever procrastinate things that would only take like 5 seconds? Like putting a receipt in the receipt folder. That should only take a minute but sometimes I just stare at it and shrug.....'i'll do it later'....it's like dude, it'll only take a minute....then by the time I know it, there's like 100 receipts and now I'm like shit....this will take me like half an hour. damn this shit.
Okay, well those are just some things on my mind....I'll try to write more...but we all know how that might turn out....peace out homies
